1,000 agents take Propertymark Qualifications’ exams every month

1,000 agents take Propertymark Qualifications’ exams every month, according to figures and information analysed by Propertymark.

Figures from the end of May by Propertymark’s specialist awarding arm, show, almost 4,000 agents have already taken exams since the beginning of the year, averaging 46 agents every business day.

The industry body said that this is borne from the desire from agents to strive for best practice in the sector, ensuring they are making their mark on professionalising and driving up standards in the property industry.

Propertymark Qualifications has been making in strides in delivering qualifications in new ways, as well as introducing an innovative new Level 4 certificate. In February this year they launched ‘remote invigilation’ which has now seen over 1,700 exams taken at home or in the workplace since the service began.
